"PlayAlberta.ca makes certain that money played in Alberta will stay in Alberta, ensures protection on account withdrawals and offers a suite of responsible gambling features, such as bet and time limits," Alberta Gaming, Liquor and Cannabis said Thursday. The AGLC estimates Alberta residents were already spending $378 million gambling on websites set up outside the country, many which are unregulated. The site integrates AGLC's best-in-class GameSense responsible gambling program, which promotes healthy gambling, Maisonneuve said. The company provides online gambling platforms for other jurisdictions including Michigan, Virginia, New Hampshire and North Carolina. The province began looking at online gambling in early 2019.
